RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 The deadly business of an unregulated global stem cell industry JF Journal of Medical Ethics JO J Med Ethics FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd and Institute of Medical Ethics SP 744 OP 746 DO 10.1136/medethics-2016-104046 VO 43 IS 11 A1 Tamra Lysaght A1 Wendy Lipworth A1 Tereza Hendl A1 Ian Kerridge A1 Tsung-Ling Lee A1 Megan Munsie A1 Catherine Waldby A1 Cameron Stewart YR 2017 UL http://jme.bmj.com/content/43/11/744.abstract AB In 2016, the Office of the State Coroner of New South Wales released its report into the death of an Australian woman, Sheila Drysdale, who had died from complications of an autologous stem cell procedure at a Sydney clinic. In this report, we argue that Mrs Drysdale's death was avoidable, and it was the result of a pernicious global problem of an industry exploiting regulatory systems to sell unproven and unjustified interventions with stem cells.
